Chapter 98: Mother’s Belated Love! (Please subscribe to the two-in-one version)

Lu Mingze looked at Meng Qingning and asked, "Just stuff it in your mouth with it open?"
Lu Mingze swallowed hard.

Your mother just left.

And just now, the two of them were hiding under the dining table to beautify Jiang Qian!
Lu Mingze is a bit of a sage.

I pushed her away to let her calm down.

Seeing that Lu Mingze didn't say anything, Meng Qingning thought that he was extremely disappointed in her, and her tears burst out even more.

Suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she rushed over and hugged Lu Mingze tightly. Her voice was tearful but firm: "Director, I know I was wrong. I will never be so impulsive again. If you don't want me to get pregnant, I will get an IUD and take medicine. If you want me to get pregnant, I will get pregnant. I am a good boy now. Please don't abandon me. Please."

Depend on!
Lu Mingze's body stiffened, his hand hanging in the air, but he finally patted Meng Qingning's back gently, trying to calm her out-of-control emotions.

This this.
After an argument with Jiang Yun.

Meng Qingning seems like a different person?

The next morning, before the first ray of sunlight fully illuminated the room, she got up quietly and tiptoed into the kitchen.

She tied an apron and began to prepare breakfast with a focused look.

She remembered that Lu Mingze once said that he liked Western breakfast, so she carefully fried eggs, toasted bread, and prepared jam meticulously.

She took every step very carefully, as if she was completing an extremely important work of art.

When Lu Mingze walked out of the room with sleepy eyes, Meng Qingning immediately went to meet him with a gentle smile on her face. She took the coat from his hand and said softly, "Director, go wash up quickly. Breakfast will be ready soon."

After washing up, Lu Mingze sat down at the dining table and looked at the neatly arranged breakfast, a cup of steaming coffee, and an exquisite fruit salad.

"Why are you up so early?"

"Make food for the director."

"Oh, by the way, didn't we hire a nanny before? Where is she?"

"I'm planning to fire her. The director has a dog, so he doesn't need a nanny anymore."

"Cough, cough, cough."

Meng Qingning sat across from him, staring at him without blinking, a smile on her lips, and reminded him from time to time: "Slow down, slow down."

Lu Mingze looked at her and thought about it. That nanny still had an influence. She came here to be an underwear model before and asked with red eyes if she could not take off her clothes.
The family is so difficult.

Lu Mingze: "Forget it, don't fire him. Let him make a living."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Meng Qingning nodded obediently after explaining everything to her mother.

It seems that Lu Mingze is her only lifeline.

Jiang Yun was filled with fatigue and resentment since last night, when she came out of Meng Qingning's room.

She has some nervous breakdown.

After a busy video conference the next day.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to hold on to her shaky emotions, took out her cell phone and called Jiang Qian.

As soon as Jiang Qian's "Hello" sound came from the other end of the phone, Jiang Yun said, "Jiang Qian, come to the address I sent you right now. I have something to tell you." There was an unquestionable toughness in her voice, completely lacking her usual calmness.

Jiang Qian was stunned for a moment on the other end of the phone. She could hear Jiang Yun's bad tone and responded crisply, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Not long after, Jiang Qian hurried to the cafe. As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Yun sitting in the corner with a terribly gloomy face.

She walked over quickly, and before Jiang Yun could speak, she looked directly into her eyes and asked coldly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Jiang Qian, what on earth do you want to do?"

Jiang Yun's voice trembled slightly with anger, and it was obvious how great the impact yesterday was on her!

"Meng Qingning has completely lost control. Don't you think disrupting this family isn't enough?"

When Jiang Qian heard this, her already tense face instantly turned even colder. She asked bluntly, "It's really interesting what you said. How did I mess up the family? I think you're the one who really messed up everything!"

Jiang Yun was so angry at this sudden rebuttal that she almost slammed the table. "How dare you talk back? Meng Qingning is completely crazy now because of what happened between you and Lu Mingze, and you are still here making excuses! How can you kneel with her?"

I actually came across that scene yesterday!

Jiang Qian took a step forward, her eyes like torches, and said in a hard voice: "Don't push the responsibility onto me! Ningning has been lacking love since she was a child. As a mother, even though you are not her biological child, you are busy with work all day. How much time do you really spend on her? She longs for her mother's care, but what about you? If she is not entertaining, then she is on a business trip. When she needs you the most, you are never there."

Jiang Yun opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but was shut up by Jiang Qian's next words. "As her aunt, I spend time with her whenever I have time, but can my concern replace a mother's love? Now that she finally has someone she likes, and you come and interfere, how can she not be devastated? Ultimately, all this is due to your dereliction of duty as a mother. It's your own fault!"

Jiang Yun's face turned pale and red. She thought of the moments of Meng Qingning's growth that she had missed, and a wave of guilt welled up in her heart. However, her years of strength made it difficult for her to give in easily. "I, I, I gave her a better life."

"A better life?"

Jiang Qian sneered, "Jiang Yun, do you think this is enough?

Can material wealth fill the love she lacks in her heart? Look at her now, she has pushed herself to the brink of death for a relationship. Shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"

Jiang Yun was silent. She looked at Jiang Qian. For the first time, she felt that the woman in front of her was so strange and so sharp. After a long time, she slowly said, "What should we do now?"

Jiang Qian crossed her arms, her tone still firm: "Things have come to this point, it's all because of the evil you did in the past."

Jiang Yun raised her head and gritted her teeth, "If you hadn't provoked me before, I..."

"enough."

Jiang Qian clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms. Her eyes were blazing with anger as she stared directly at Jiang Yun, her tone becoming increasingly cold and hard: "The root of Ningning's transformation is you. If you can't even take responsibility for yourself, how can you even talk about contributing to this family?"

Jiang Yun was stunned by this sudden accusation. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, Jiang Qian continued like a machine gun: "Have you forgotten all the strange things we had in the past? I've felt something was wrong for a long time and wanted to end it. I wanted to get along with you again, but what about you? You actually found a random man to marry. Are you trying to get revenge on me?"

Jiang Yun's lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to argue, but Jiang Qian blocked her way: "Don't deny it! You know in your heart that your hasty decision to get married during that time was not for happiness at all, but was just impulsive. You thought that by marrying someone randomly, you could make me feel guilty and change anything? In the end, you messed up your own life and ruined Ningning's upbringing."

Jiang Qian's eyes were red, but her voice remained firm. "Ningning is lacking love now and has an extreme personality. It's all your fault! You didn't give her the love and role model she deserved in your marriage. How could she not be confused and crazy? As a mother, you chose to escape and act willfully when she needed guidance the most. Now you blame me. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"You've been her mother for so long, don't you know why she became like this today?" Jiang Yun's face turned pale and her body shook slightly. She subconsciously grabbed the edge of the table, trying to steady herself.

"I...I was also, I..."

"Can't tell?"

Jiang Qian sneered, "Who doesn't have secrets? But who is like you, treating your life as a joke and even implicating Ningning?

If you had taken your feelings seriously and managed your family well, Ningning would not have become like this.

Whether you feel regret or anger now, it's all your own fault."

Jiang Yun lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he whispered, "So what should we do now?"

"how could I know?"

Jiang Qian took a deep breath, then stood up and wanted to leave without continuing to talk to her. However, she paused before leaving: "Only you can make up for the love Ningning has lacked over the years."

Jiang Yun raised her head, her eyes filled with complex emotions, including guilt, regret, and a hint of confusion: "Me? Make amends?"

Jiang Qian looked at Jiang Yun, her tone softened slightly, but still with unquestionable determination: "Yes, sometimes Ningning's madness may be rooted in you."

Jiang Yun sat there silently, as if all her strength had been drained away by Jiang Qian's words, her body slightly curled up.

Her eyes were empty as she stared at the table, her mind in a mess.

Did I really do something wrong?
This question was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart again and again.

Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past, and the time she spent with Meng Qingning emerged one by one.

Was I really too negligent towards Meng Qingning in the past?

There was a hint of pain and struggle in Jiang Yun's eyes.

She and her ex-husband had no love at all.

Meng Qingning was not her biological daughter, and this fact was like an invisible ravine in her heart, lying between her and Meng Qingning.

She always felt that Meng Qingning did not have her blood flowing in his veins, and his feelings for her did not seem pure and unconditional.

Although she has no blood relationship with me, but...

Jiang Yun's heart suddenly tightened. When Meng Qingning called out "Mom" for the first time, when Meng Qingning held her hand and acted coquettishly for the first time, didn't her heart also surge with the joy and tenderness of being a mother?
However, the busy work, the trivialities of life, and the unspeakable resentment deep in her heart made her gradually ignore Meng Qingning's feelings.

She remembered that when Meng Qingning was a child, she always looked forward to her attending parent-teacher meetings, but she always broke the appointment due to temporary work arrangements.

Meng Qingning's lost look was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart. Also, during her adolescence, Meng Qingning became emotionally sensitive and fragile. She should have listened patiently, offered comfort and guidance, but she often impatiently dismissed Meng Qingning.

Jiang Yun's lips trembled slightly, and her eyes gradually became moist.

She always thought that providing Meng Qingning with a good material life was fulfilling her mother's responsibilities?

Yesterday's scene hit her hard.

She never thought that what Meng Qingning really wanted was her company and her love.
"I...seem to be really wrong?" Jiang Yun muttered to herself.

Later in the evening.

Meng Qingning was sitting quietly in the corner of the school library, flipping through an old book. The sunlight shone through the window onto her, outlining her slightly thin figure.

Jiang Yun approached slowly, taking very light steps, for fear of disturbing Meng Qingning.

She stood in front of Meng Qingning, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't utter the word "I'm sorry".

She thought of Jiang Qian's accusations and realized how little she knew about Meng Qingning.

She wanted to buy a gift for Meng Qingning in an attempt to make up for her mistake, but at this moment she realized that she had no idea what Meng Qingning liked.

What kind of books does Meng Qingning like to read, what colors does she like, what kind of food does she have a special liking for... These are details that her mother should know by heart, but she knows nothing about them.

As a mother, this is undoubtedly her dereliction of duty.

Meng Qingning raised her head and saw Jiang Yun standing in front of her. A complex emotion flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She closed the book and looked at Jiang Yun quietly, as if waiting for something.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and said with a trembling voice, "Ningning, I'm sorry..."

As soon as she said this, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in them.

Meng Qingning was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled. That smile was filled with a hint of relief, yet also a bit of loneliness. She said softly, "That's not important anymore."

Her tone was light, as if all the times in the past when she longed for maternal love and the pain caused by being neglected were gently put aside at this moment.

Jiang Yun's heart suddenly sank. She thought Meng Qingning would be angry and cry, but this seemingly calm response made her feel even more guilty and sad. "Ningning, Mom knows I was wrong. I will change in the future. Can you give Mom a chance?" Jiang Yun's voice was filled with pleading.

Meng Qingning looked at Jiang Yun, was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "Mom, some things are missed and they are missed. Now, I don't know how to face you." Her voice was calm, but Jiang Yun could hear deep disappointment in it.

Jiang Yun's tears welled up in her eyes. She reached out to hold Meng Qingning's hand, but Meng Qingning subconsciously shrank back. This subtle movement, like a sharp dagger, pierced Jiang Yun's heart with a sharp pain. "Ningning, Mommy begs you, please give Mommy another chance. Mommy will definitely love you well and make up for the mistakes I made over the years."

Jiang Yun's body trembled slightly, her heart full of regret and self-blame.

Meng Qingning looked at Jiang Yun's painful expression, and a ripple appeared in her heart.

She lowered her eyes and said softly, "It's no longer necessary."

After saying that, she picked up the book, walked around Jiang Yun, and slowly walked out of the bookstore. "It's enough for me to have my director love me."

Jiang Yun stood there blankly, looking at Meng Qingning's departing back, which seemed like he was walking towards an abyss.

How could the girl I had watched grow up be abused by others?
Suddenly, a scene that I had experienced came into my mind!

Jiang Yun staggered, and her heart beat twice!
